Do I have to use Picnik?

Permalink
Sorry, someone may have asked this already but do i need to use Picnik to edit and crop my images etc as i want something much simpler and less confusing for clients to use.

well you don't have to hit edit on images at all, just have them upload the images they have...

im not sure i've ever seen a web based photo editor easier to use than picnik.. if you care to integrate one, that'd be dandy.

You can choose what you want your clients to use for their image editing. That is just what is built into Concrete5. You can use Photoshop or GIMP for all we care.

Thanks for reply but what i mean is, there are nice jquery image cropping plugins. Was wondering if anything like this has been implemented instead of editing images once uploaded. Like upload > crop > save.

One Japanese member is making a resizer block.

But needs more work

Someday, we will have it soon.

Opps... not a block.. sorry...

It's a tool.

He made the way that you can resize the image by %.

But I asked him if he can make it as a tool, and adjust the image size by pixels, not % using GD Library.

So that the client does not have to load a heavy flash file.

Thanks, will be interesting to see.
Just looking at the image upload tool and seems pretty straight forward. Might add another step before saving and show a jquery cropper in a light box window or something. Sorry, new to C5. Will post my progress.

if you're adding images via the content block, you are able to resize them there.
